How could the writers improve the Chris character

[Sara Micelli]

She's my favorite character but she needs some improvement. Maybe more people would like her if she was more multi-dimensional. How does everybody think she could be improved.

P.S. don't say make her act JUST like Reggie did lol.

well we've all seen her good side(mostly nice 99.9 percent of the time) and one time we saw her dark side, I say they need to make her edgy, tough, not funny(well she is funny) , give her some flaws, be little crazy, or something new.........
I don't know, I want the writers to suprise us fans with Chris, you know make us think were going to see more of the same act, and then bring out the 'new' Chris when we least expect it.

I agree. I don't think they should change her completely though. They shouldn't make her a bad girl/punk character at least that's my opinion. What does everyone else think?

I think the problem with a character like Chris is that she has to be a foil for Becker.
She has to be nice and sensible becasue he's the loveable cranky crumudgeon. You get more "situations" out of situation comedy when you have two opposites playing off one another.
You can't give her a darker angrier side, because she wold be just like Becker, and then the whole "opposites attract" scenario would be ruined...

That's true but couldn't they make her a bit more multi-dimensional without giving her a darkside? I don't know what do you think?

The problem unfortunatly, is that she is "the girlfriend." On most sitcoms, the girlfriend just looks on from the sidelines while the boyfriend (usually the star who's name is in the title) gets all the good lines and all the storys revolve around him.

It has always been a shame that they really can't develop strong supporting female characters that aren't there for comic relief (like Karen on Will & Grace) or the "wife" like Patricia Heaton on "Raymond."

Give it some time. WIth any luck, they'll be fleshing out Chris. Right now, they're still trying to make the audience forget about Reggie.

But she isn't really the girlfriend. She refuses to date him.

Okay, technically, she's not his girlfriend, but she is the love interest, it is a sure bet they will eventually get together...

Your right. I didn't mean change her completley, if they did, that mess up the storyline.......I guess they need to give her a background, and some flaws, for some reason the character Chris is identical to Diane Chambers in Cheers, do yall agree?

What I'm REALLY wanting to know is why she got divorced and WHY she didn't admit that to anyone but Bob. Remember Bob was the person that told everyone she's divorced. I wonder why she's hiding that info. What does everyone else think?

I find it interesting that she hasn't told us anything about her. I mean she's been on the show for several months now. I don't know I just find it a bit weird.

Sort of like she made a BIG mistake in the past that she doesn't want anyone else to know about. It could also be that she and her husband had kids before they got divorced. I'm just making various guesses lol.

I think there needs to be atleast 1 or 2 episodes focusing mostly on Chris's past. Just my opinion though.

[AnaheimPMWitch]

well Yeah I agree we need to find out about her past

I totally agree, I'm like whats up with Chris?

[Sara Micelli]

So I guess the three of us are in agreement with this topic.

Okay here's what it should say.

Dear brainless morons that moved the Show to Sunday nights:

I would like to inform you that 3 unidentified persons would like to know more about the Chris character's past. Is she hiding something?

Sincerely,
a very dedicated viewer

PS. I know this was probably extremely lame but I have an unusual sense of humor. The brainless moron statement was also a joke. Okay I'm shutting up now.

I mean that they need to let us know stuff about her, so we can understand her more, last nights ep was really funny, Margret with that big afro......:lol: :confused:

You're right we don't really know her. Chris actually told Bob on last night's episode that he didn't know her.Interesting isn't it lol? All we know is that she's a nice person. That afro was hilarious. The keyboard was pretty funny too.

[AnaheimPMWitch]

Last nights ep was REALLY FUNNY and the Keyboard thing gave me LOTS of Ammo for some scripts I'll have Reggie say she TOOK IT it never got stolen FOR THAT EXACT reason hehehe OKay you didnt need to hear that OH OH OH if YOu want the link to my COOL TERRY website I made yesterday either E-MAIL ME at TerryLeeNicMPM@aol.com OR PM okay I dont wanna give it out in here for obvious reasons
